We have a very arid climate so you don't notice the cold as much as you would in a more humid climate. But I think that I would be one of those shocked, surprised and unprepared if it hit the 40s while visiting KW.

Whether that is because they expect tropical heat when they arrive and are disappointed by a cold front, or whether it is because winter temperatures reflect bone chilling damp in a town with very few heated homes I don't know. I have reverse cycle heat and am very fond of it, not everyone does.Conchscooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016331487463993200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-75617151912134335992012-09-09T20:14:33.121-08:002012-09-09T20:14:33.121-08:00Those that like to make predictions say that we wi...Those that like to make predictions say that we will be having a harsh winter.

We didn't have your dark, but we did have a lot of gloomy. What I liked about it was all the stuff to do. People who don't live with winter don't seem astounded when I say such things, but I suspect you know what I mean. <br /><br />Hopefully, you will bet used to idea of winter. I suspect it will come whether you are used to the idea or not :^)<br /><br />+1 to the comment to keep taking photos.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-53149391411952058112012-09-09T16:57:42.421-08:002012-09-09T16:57:42.421-08:00Hopefully I'll get used to the idea of winter ...Hopefully I'll get used to the idea of winter again soon.
